There was a great sensation in the
Pension Office last week, caused by
the arrest Of clerk named Richard
Drummer, for stealing the records of
that office for the benefit of a promi
nent claim sttorney of Washington.
The clerk confesses his guilt, but the
lawyer, who must answer to the charge
OF receiving stolen documents stoutlv
denies the accusation, endoavoring
to shield himself behind discharged
clerk of his own Office, who, he says,
committed the offence to serve a ma.
hcious purpose. Both of the de.
PENDANTS are under $4,000 bond each.
The penalty of the crime is FIVE years

AGAIN have members of the G.. A.
IL. put themselves upon record as the
greatest set OF partisan lunatics this
country has ever known. This time
1t was the members of the Pittsburgh
Post who were attending the reunion
at wheeling last week. Everything
passed off without jar and all were
enjoying themselves spendidly until
the las day when the grand parade
was taking place. The line of march
was along streets lined with costly
and handsome decorations and across
the street in front of the Register Of
fee was hung a crayon portrait of the
President with the words "God bless
our President, Grover Cleveland,
commander-in-chief Of the Army and
Navy printed above it. When the
ex-soldiers from Pittsburgh came to
this picture they refused to march
under it and crowded to the side of
the street. To make the insult
greater, they trailed their flags almost
in the dust. Yc gods what loyalty
those men have They who fought
and shed their blood at the bid of the
President of the United States dur
iig the late war, and called the Con-
federate soldiers rebels and traitors
to their country have, after the lapse
Of more than twenty years, deliber-
ately turned to the very flags under
which they fought and insulted the

served

Not since the surrender at Apo.

Nesting ia the beautiful Warm
Springs Valley between sky kissed
hills that lie dreamily at the foot of
the Alleghenies but short distance
south of the silyory waters of the
historic Potomac is the classic town
of Berkeley Springs, the county.seat
of Morgan county.
This old town is no. only famous
as summer resort because of its
health giving springs, but also be-
cause it is the home Of Gen'l David
II. Slrother who, as Porte Crayon,'
was so wellknown to the readers of
H@per's M,tgrzine a score Of years
ago.
Looking from the top Of Observa-
tory Hill, the panorama spread out
before one is go rich and varied as i:
stretches ror miles in every direction,
that the eye never tires and the inhe.
rent love for the grand and sublime,
which everyone has, finds here an in.
exhau,tible feast.
But we are DEPRESSING though such
Of your readers as have visited this
magnificent valley we are sure will
pardon us). We started to tell you
about the seventeenth annual meeting
of theWest Virginia Press Associa
ton which convened on the after
noon of August 23d in the court
house, with President A. b. Clark in
the chair. Twenty-one membe rs were
present. The following new members
were elected: Sam'l G. Jacob J b.
Morgan, A. L. Hill honorary, j. j.
Ferguson, w. T. w. Barbee.
Tie meetings were taken up chiefly
in routine business affecting the State
press. No papers were read before
the Association, which is to be de.
plored. One Important measure was
passed, providing for the punishment
of members who persist in filling
their columns with personal abuse Of
each other.
The final session Of the Associa.
ton was convened at 10 p. m, We'd
nesday, in the dining hall of the
Berkeley Springs Hotel where an ell
cgant complimentary banquet, given
by Col. Jno. I. Trcgo, proprietor of
the hotel, was spread, and was en-
joycd by the editors, their ladies, and
several invited guests.
Mr. Dawson then read the annual
poem, written by Hu Maxwell.
